 “The Gibson Girls’ are four sisters: Alisha, Tiffany, Kabryn and

			they have recorded three projects. It is their goal in a world of 
			full of hurt and negativity to bring fresh, uplifting music that 
			will encourage and inspire all who hear. They pray that every song 
			will bring hope to the hearer and show Christ’s amazing love for us 
			all. They have been compared to the singing style of the Andrew 
			Sisters.
 
 This activity and concert is sponsored by the San Jose Christian 
			Church, San Jose United Methodist Church and St. Luke Lutheran 
			Church.
 
			
  
			In addition to the free food and activities, something new has been

			characters and texts are listed below. Psalm 103:1 is our key verse: 
			“I praise the Lord with my whole heart.”

			WHAT MAKES US WHO WE ARE?: 
			AN ECUMENICAL CONVERSATION What happens 
			when a Roman Catholic Priest, an Episcopalian priest, a United 
			Church of Christ pastor, and a Presbyterian pastor get together? We 
			aren't sure either, but we're going to find out, and you're invited, 
			too! As a way to 
			get to know better our neighbors, the clergy of the First 
			Presbyterian Church (USA), the Holy Family Catholic Church, the St. 
			John United Church of Christ, and the Trinity Episcopal Church 
			invite you to attend a four-part conversation in community. The 
			title of this series will be: "What Makes Us Who We Are?" While it is 
			easy to recognize all the ways we are different, these conversations 
			aim to help us discover all the ways we are already similar and 
			share common interests and characteristics. This will be a time of 
			learning and laughter, and each discussion will conclude with light 
			refreshments - a feature sure to be the first thing that binds us in 
			common. The dates 
			for these lively (and informative) conversations will be: 
			WEDNESDAY, JULY 10TH 
			Trinity Episcopal Church 
			WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 14TH 
			Holy Family Catholic Church Each 
			conversation begins at 7:00 pm and is free to everyone.

			GOOD NEWS  
			50th YEAR  REUNION & CONCERT  
			MAY 23-24, 2020!
 
			Calling all GOOD NEWS alumni and sponsors! We are so 
			excited to announce the 50th year of GOOD NEWS will be celebrated 
			with a reunion and concert, May 23–24, 2020! We will rehearse on Saturday and Sunday afternoon, with the big reunion concert at 6:00 
			p.m. on Sunday, May 24 (Memorial Day weekend) at Lincoln Christian 
			University. Mark your calendar now! We will bring
 back as many of the former GOOD NEWS directors as possible. The 
			Reunion Choir will sing a favorite song from each decade as well as 
			hear from the current Good News and T.R.A.S.H. This will be a blast! 
			Please plan to join us!
 
 GOOD NEWS PUBLISHING COMPANY began in 1971. Created from the Youth 
			Choir of Lincoln Christian Church, Keith Davenport added the 
			dimension of touring with the “Good News” of Jesus. There have been 
			close to 1,000 students who have been in GOOD NEWS over the last 50 
			years, (we are still counting!) with hundreds of dedicated sponsors 
			who have traveled with our students.
 
 GOOD NEWS has shared the Good News of Jesus Christ in concerts in 43 
			states and Canada. On our 2019 tour next week we add #41 (Utah), #42 
			(Montana) and #43 (North Dakota).
 
 GOOD NEWS alumni and sponsors (and parents!), we have created 
			several ways for you to stay in contact to receive all of the 
			information about the Reunion Concert.
 
 To update your contact information, register for the Reunion 
			Concert, send e-invites to fellow GOOD NEWSers, share photos (we 
			need your photos, especially the formal group shots), videos, and 
			stories, and once you have registered to sing in the Reunion 
			Concert, receive a link to download the concert music, go to: 
			www.lincolnchristianchurch.org/GN50 , Check social media (Facebook, 
			Instagram, Twitter) with #GoodNews50, email us at GN50@lincolnchristianchurch.org.
 
 Join us in May 2020 to celebrate the legacy and continued ministry 
			of GOOD NEWS! We can’t wait to see all of you gathered together to 
			once again proclaim the Good News of Jesus Christ in song!
